EAC offline error after pet patch

I am traveling and am running lost ark on my laptop.

Everytime I log on and enter a server after about 30 seconds it comes up with “cannot connect to server. EAC offline” then it returns me to server screen

  1. I have tried repairing EAC
  2. I have tried reinstalling EAC from their website
  3. I have verified game files for lost ark
  4. I have disabled firewalls and rolled back windows update
  5. I have downloaded latest visual c++
  6. I have run everything as administrator
  7. I have tried opening and forwarding the ports

I have windows 11

Please help!!! This is ridiculous.

Hi @Fallenspartan.

Hope you’re doing great :sunny:

I’m sorry you’re having this EAC issue playing Lost Ark, thank you for letting us know that you tried to fix this problem, when you have a chance can you try this troubleshooting please:

Try adding Windows firewall exceptions manually:

Press Windows + R, type “firewall.cpl” into the Run window, and then press Enter.

Click Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall and then click Change settings.

Look for the game in the list of allowed apps and features. If it’s present, make sure it’s checked, and that both the Private and Public columns have a check mark. If the game is missing from the list, you must add it.

Click Allow another app…, locate and select LostArkLauncher.exe, and then click Add.

Once you’ve done that, make sure that Lost Ark has check marks under both the Private and Public columns.

If the issue persists, here’s some more stuff we can try:

@Solaire I found a work around! Although I have to pay for it I am using a VPN because the ISP is blocking easy anti cheat. Worked as soon as I downloaded it.

And I double checked the forums and have seen multiple mods say it’s ok to use a vpn if you could just confirm!

Hi again @Fallenspartan.

Just to clarify Vpn aren’t allowed within Lost Ark. Here’s the original post from our community manager in case someone needs the information:

Also I will share this link to the FAQ in case someone needs the information too:

FAQ | Lost Ark - Free to Play MMO Action RPG (playlostark.com)

If you are in a country that appears on the available list in the FAQ mentioned before then you will be able to play Lost Ark without a VPN.

If you wish to provide any feedback you can do so here:

Game Feedback - Lost Ark Forums

If you need further assistance in any other issue please don’t hesitate in reaching us again!

We hope you understand.

Stay safe!
